Strengths
- “Pupils come into The Priors School happy and eager to learn each day.”
- “The school sets high expectations of pupils’ behaviour and achievement.”
- “During lessons and at social times pupils are well behaved.”
To improve
- “However, the school has not ensured that staff have the detailed knowledge needed to teach some elements of the curriculum in a small number of subjects.”
- “This means that sometimes pupils do not learn the curriculum in these subjects as well as they could.”
- “The schools’ oversight of how well pupils learn the curriculum is variable.”
